An Unknown Couple

Recently, Roger sent me something that was rather remarkable. He was cleaning up and going through a box of books found in his mother-in-law's attic when he discovered a couple tintypes inside one of them. No one in his wife's family could recognize them and he believes they may have belonged to one the home's previous owners, so instead of tossing them, he sent them to me.

I am very touched by Roger's generous gift and remain very grateful.

Today, I'd like to share the images with you too, by posting them here. I wonder who they were and what their lives were like.

Yes, interesting, Roger. I suppose they still could be relatives - it's just that no one remembers them. It doesn't take long for unlabeled photos to be unknown photos. Mine are all labeled. I'm a bit obsessive about it.
